K-3I Like to Read series.
These books give emergent readers fresh takes on familiar words and subjects. In Ben, plenty of repetition and fanciful cut-paper and ink illustrations take a boy and a red balloon to new heights. In Pete, readers witness picky eating, piggy-style, with pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations. Both books have a picture-book trim size with large font, few words per page, and plenty of white space. Review covers these two I Like to Read titles: Come Back, Ben and Pete Won't Eat.
